Akpoborie Questions Obafemi Martins’ Super Eagles Recall

Former Nigeria international Jonathan Akpoborie has questioned the recall of Obafemi Martins into the Super Eagles.

Martins, who has been in fine scoring form for Seattle Sounders, made a return to the Eagles after a two-year absence when he replaced Mikel Obi in the team’s 0-0 draw against Swaziland in a World Cup qualifier on Friday.

COMMENTS

The thing missing here is the timing of the Sid tweet; that will put the comment in context. No where does that suggest Jonathan "questioned" Obafemi's recall, but rather sneers at his non-inclusion from the start; or the fact that he came on and was played from midfield, especially as the match ended goalless. Of course, I stand to be corrected in my presumption, but there is insufficient info in the quote to conclude he didn't want Obafemi Martins.
